Abstract: This paper describes techniques for measuring the SRS coefficient in a wide spectral range, including the region of small Stokes shifts. A simple, approximate method is proposed for evaluating the SRS coefficient near a gain peak. Spectral dependences of the SRS coefficient are presented for various telecom fibres.

Keywords: Raman scattering, SRS coefficient, Raman amplifier, SRS tilt, fibre-optic communication link.
